Ladies and gentlemen, we've just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story: In case you haven't turned on a TV, read a paper, gone grocery shopping, or had a dream, Ron Burgundy and the Channel 4 News Team are back this week, and it's kind of a big deal. We are in a glass case of excitement. So much excitement, in fact, that we can't even concentrate on our leather-bound books, so we turned to Oregon Bartenders Guild President Brandon Wise to help curb our emotions with these Burgundy-approved cocktails. Get ready for a trip to Pleasure Town.

This variation on Ron's signature drink at Escupimos en su Alimento starts by soaking a sugar cube in bitters in a mixing glass. Peel a swath of orange, then add it to the glass with the remaining ingredients (except for the cheese, which Baxter may have eaten a whole wheel of). Add ice and stir for 10 seconds before straining over rocks. Serve up in a glass case of emotion. Don't act like you're not impressed.
